I lost track of Marv after I married and started my career. Marv also married (a gorgeous gal from our high school -- I have no idea how he trapped her), and moved to the left coast to operate a chain of barber shops. Through the magic of the Internet and email, Marv and I reconnected a month ago, thanks to my other friend Jim.
Needless to say, my hair has been longer for a whole lotta years, because I moved away.
Marv saw my web site and asked me to make a guitar for his 7-year-old grandson Steven, who is nuts about Spider-Man. Gramps bought Steven a regular size guitar, but he's too small to play it, so a CBG is just the ticket.
I shipped the 'Spider-Man' today, and I cannot wait to hear what the reaction is from Steven. I bet he wets his pants, when he sees the cover of the box.
It's a straight-forward three-string acoustic tuned to the top three strings on a regular git (G-B-e), so it is easy to chord using the basic guitar chords, and leaving off the notes for the 6-5-4 strings.
I played it last night, like I do each guitar I create, and it sounds really good. So, I'm probably as happy as Steven will be.
Take a look, and let me know what you think.
Here is Steven with his new guitar.
